Boeing 747 breaks in HALF during takeoff in Brussels {Gadling}
May 26th 2008 6:37PM Thank you for your consideration Emma! After a day of thinking about this it just hit me how lucky they really where. They where only a few feet from running into a metro rail tracks thats why the captan turned the plane and viered off the to the side. If they would of hit that it could of been catasrophic the plane was full of fuel, with all those electrical cables hovering over the tracks it could of been much worse.
Boeing 747 breaks in HALF during takeoff in Brussels {Gadling}
May 26th 2008 3:24AM So my dad was the flight engineer on this flight. He and the flight crew are all doing fine. What happend was the pilot and crew heard a loud explosion and desiced to abort the take off. Since the run way was so short it was impossible to stop the plane short of the end of the runway. The plain viered into an embankment causing the fuselage to crack and break in half. As far as the details go thats all he really knows. According to him the plane was not overloaded, they where about 15000 pounds under the planes weight limit. Anyway he's stuck in Brussels pending the investation.
